Carat Weight - Tanzanite Prices Per Carat (2011)

Currently carat weight has less affect on tanzanite than on other gems like ruby, sapphire, emerald or diamond.  If Tanzanite One Group gets more control of the market they have plans to change the pricing structure more like that of diamonds which are more affected by size and quality.  We are currently in 2012 seeing the following approximate price breaks.  Prices of Tanzanite change quickly and dramatically.  Round, princess and trilliant cuts are often at the higher end of this listing due to limited availability.  Tanzanite showing a noticable green component will be priced significantly less.  These are average market prices, we attempt to supply tanzanite at 10-20% less than market price though direct buying and in house cutting.
